Bizarre moment CNN anchors unsuccessfully try to pretend they are not in the same parking lot

How do you know when two television correspondents are in the same parking lot pretending that they are in separate locations?

When you can see the same cars going by in both screens.

Producers at CNN apparently thought viewers wouldn’t notice that anchors Nancy Grace of HLN/Headline News and Ashleigh Banfield of Newsroom were standing no more than 30 feet way from one another as they manipulated the footage and placed Grace on Banfield’s right instead of her left.

Whoops: Nancy Grace and Ashleigh Banfield were standing no more than 30 feet away from one another while CNN producers manipulated the footage to give the appearance of a satellite interview

VIDEO Reporting live from... The same location. CNN's live link fail

The blatant visual gimmick aired
Tuesday morning as the two correspondents reported on the latest details
behind the horrific Cleveland kidnapping story and pretended they were
conducting a remote interview, as the Atlantic Wire pointed out soon after.

At a glance the morning segment on CNN might have seemed like a real satellite Q&A as Banfield feigned to interview Grace, a leading commentator on deviant crime, from a separate location.
